Woman has lost all sense of reality.

she's very excited about the material in her own way. very helpful if you seek help via office hours or emails. tests were bases soley on lecture, so take good notes and ask questions if you dont understand. she's very fair.

very hard material and a very hard tester, but she's fair. really boring though and EVERYTHING you need to know comes from her notes, so go to her lectures and make sure you understand everything she says. use the book to supplement what she says.

She is a bit on the weird side, but cool. The best BI108 professor, probably. Its just that there are so many dumb clueless premeds who only take BI108 cuz they need to

It may not be thrilling, but she tells you exactly what you have to know, and she really likes biology.

Expect to see many slides of STDs in BI114. If you have a weak stomach--best not take the course. It's extremely interesting, although you may walk out of class wondering how many infectious diseases YOU have. Hard tests, but apparently she's helpful.

she knos what shes talking bout, but a lot of the time, its hard to follow b/c she 4gets that we dont kno everything she is talking about rite off the bat. best bet would b to go to every lecture u can, study the notes, and then glance at the book too

She is so boring! This woman expects students to know everything she is talking about. Her notes online were disorganized with a lot of information. Test are really hard too. Only way to do well is pay attention in lecture, but good luck staying awake!

for an intro class, she made you LEARN. or at least cram a lot. she has disorganzied notes, but if you can read them, you don't really need to go to class. she's eager to clear anything up for you if you ask.

Very interesting class. Really wants students to learn and supplements lecture with slides and lecture notes; DO NOT BUY TEXTBOOK; tests are very specific and require significant studying but are manageable, recommend teacher and class

Exams are impossible. Lab instructor TF Sheuli Nath is horrible. However, very interesting. Prof is very sweet.

she is the sweetest woman and knows what she's talking about. the material is very hard and it takes a lot of studying but it is interesting if you put the time in. test questions are kind of ambiguous and tricky

There is so much material covered in this class which makes it very difficult. She is good at explaining and stays true to her word that she will not test you on anything not mentioned in lecture. Don't buy the textbook!

I loved her, she was so sweet. The tests were impossible, but somehow funny. At least we passed right?

What a great lady. She has the unenviable job of weeding out the unmotivated pre-meds. If you're a serious student you'll love her. She is very helpful.

I learned SO MUCH in this course. The lectures go fast. Lots of material.

She is always willing to help!Her notes are kinda hard to understand.My suggestion,go to class,take notes,rewrite the notes she gives you to make them understandable,go to her office hours/TF's review,and study!If you do all that you will be fine.The lecture topics and lab were really intresting.

Very interesting class and covers a lot of material. But her tests are very tricky. DO NOT BUY THE TEXT BOOK. She tell you this the 1st day of class so listen to her. If u brought it already take it back. For the lab reports the text book is on reserve in the sci/eng library.

The subject that the class covers is very...boring. Godrick knows that. She tries. Shes interesting to listen to because you can tell she knows what shes talking about. Her tests...tricky tricky. However, they are possible.

She is often unclear in her lectures, but is very helpful during office hours. Her tests are fair if you study. Don't waste your time with the textbook. Study her notes.

exam was too easy

too easy because the exam was on her lecture notes

Prof Godrick knows the material and teaches it well

She is a good scientist but no so great lecturer! Very informative one-on-one but in lecture she is very scattered! Her notes are confusing @ best! Take really good notes and print of her slides b4 going to lecture it will save you a lot of time. She also takes her test-material right from her notes

I learned a lot in this course. She was very very helpful. Go to class, you'll be fine. Nice lady.

Well, if you are not interested in bio then godrick will be a nightmare for you in teaching, but she is definitely funny and much more interesting than the other bio profs. nice lady, but can get confusing, tests are challenging but comes straight from her notes. I don't like bio, but got decent grades on tests, had to kill myself studying though

She is an excellent professor. I was impressed by the quality of her teaching...the way she teaches is just so involving. I enjoyed having her as a professor. This professor surely knows how to teach and the class is not hard if you are devoted. It's not that challenging to Ase the classes since there are frequent tests. Be sure to ask questions:)

The material is always going to be difficult, but Godrick does an excellent job of helping us understand. The notes (lab manual) she gives us are helpful, but difficult to comprehend. If you've taken biology recently, especially AP bio, you will be well prepared.

Jess is a wonderful lab instructor. Labs are easy and self-explanitory, and most of them lasted about an hour - only half the time we were scheduled for the class. The midterm and final exam were easy because she gives you a review sheet with pretty much all the questions that are all on the tests. Write down everything that she has on the board!

Godrick really wants to help if you come to her office hours. The exams consist of everything in the coursebook, not the text. You don't really need textbooks for reading but more for studying the figures. Lab were EASY!!

Prof. Godrick knows her stuff, but can sometimes be difficult to understand. Read the book, use the companion website from the text, and Godrick is always happy to answer questions. She is very approachable.

Godrick is really nice but her lectures are too early in the morning and impossible to stay awake through because she has a tendancy of turning off all the lights and showing lots of boring slides. if you study, read the book and do well in lab you'll do fine. Jess, the lab teacher, is AMAZING/AWESOME/GREAT!

Shes a nice professor, but not very clear during lectures-not good at 8AM. She jumps from slide to slide & doesnt explain things too well, and she gives you class notes, but GO TO LECTURE. the notes are hard to understand-you'll see. Definitely read the textbook; it might be (most likely will be) more helpful than she is. Study hard (diagrams too)

Amazing teacher - she teaches in a way that respects the intelligence of her students and is always willing to answer questions and offer help. EXTREMELY fair about grading tests. Any poor rating is likely coming from a whiny 108 kid who doesn't even study anyway... if you are smart and a good student, you will love her classes.

It's really important to go to her lectures and know her notes backwards and forwards (both from your notes taken from lecture and the notes she has in her book). The book is more used to understand everything but study the facts from her notes. Don't buy the study guide, you don't use it at all. Study a lot and you'll do well - that simple with he

This was an easy class, so it's hard to judge her teaching ability. The exams are based on her notes. Anything she covers in class is what she wants you to know for the exams, but you may want to read more background than information. You have to review thoroughly, but the material is easy enough so it isn't too challenging.

Subject was interesting but extensive. She's considerate with regard to test subjects. She'll let you know exactly which topics will be on the test. I enjoyed lecture though it was sometimes boring. Good grader too.

Loved this class. I actually think it should be required for all International Relations majors. So relevant to the world health situation and very interesting. Don't bother buying the book, her lecture notes are more than enough. Tests are packed with info and lots of memorization but if you're at all interested, you'll be fine :)

Professor Godrick is by far my favorite professor so far. She is very friendly and always willing to help. She makes lecture interesting, and the class is pretty easy. All her exams are multiple choice and come directly from the book of notes. Show up, pay attention, and you should do just fine.

Freshman don't take this class. This is THE coolest class in the world but not a cake-walk. Lab is super easy but Lecture isn't a joke especially if you have had no exposure to immunology and microbiology.

This class is life-changing. you should all know that the lab section for this class is identical to BI 311 Gen. Microbiology. This is a little known fact and works in students favor heavily if you take 114 then 311. Also Godrick teaches part of BI 108 and her notes from 114 are the exact same as in 108. If you want a BIG pre-med tip, take 114

This class is extremely hard. There are so many different concepts and for an intro class, she goes very in-depth. I was a non-science major and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone just trying to fulfill a CAS requirement. The class and lab were interesting, but her tests are not worth all the stress. Try to get above average and you should be ok.

Attended this class during summer session. A lot of material for summer. Book was used as reference only. Buy her notes! Very helpful. You can listen and highlight. She responds to emails - helpful. Exams are challenging. You must stay ahead of the reading. Lab was good.

This was my favorite class at BU! To succeed is easy: go to class! Godrick is adorable and her tests are very FAIR. Lab killed my grade though :( Also, dont but the book from BU, just use her notes. THIS CLASS WAS AMAZING!

Getting a good grade in lecture is easy, as long as you attend class. I found lab to be more difficult, but I'm not a science major so that might be why. I think this is a really good class if you're trying to fulfill the natural science requirement. I actually recommend it to my friends.

Professor Godrick is really smart, but she can sometimes be confusing because she moves so quickly. Sometimes she makes really witty or funny remarks and doesn't even realize it. Also, even though you buy her notes, treat them as an outline and take your own too. Most of the time her notes don't make sense or have weird abbreviations.
